While the side-stick offers the advantages of being lighter, mechanically simpler, and unobtrusive, The Boeing Company's aerospace engineers decided that the lack of visual feedback ( none given by side-sticks ) is a significant problem, and so they designed conventional control yokes in the Boeing 777 and the Boeing 787, which entered service on 26 October 2011 with All Nippon Airways.

The Boeing 787 will also incorporate some electrically operated flight controls ( spoilers and horizontal stabilizer ), which will remain operational with either a total hydraulics failure and / or flight control computer failure.

If Jimbo's designer switched the imperial ( inches ) measurements of the Boeing 747 for metric ( cm ), the result would have been an aircraft with a fuselage length of 91 ft ; this would make Jimbo roughly the length of an early-series Boeing 737 ( 94 ft ).
